In this video, soldiers from the 117th Heavy Mechanized Brigade thank us for delivering a Starlink Mini terminal. The terminal will be deployed in the area of Kupiansk, a city that russian sources have already claimed to have “captured” no fewer than three times.

Reliable communication remains one of the most critical tools on the modern battlefield, and systems like Starlink continue to give units the connectivity they need to coordinate, adapt, and operate effectively on the front line.

A tip for Russian officers: if Starlink terminals are now mostly being used as glorified cutting boards in your positions, you might consider selling them to the Ukrainian army. Over there, they are still being used for what they were actually designed for.
